Importing an alternative IEEE 802.1X root certificate

When creating a project, ABT Site creates a root certificate which is valid for the whole project. You can also import an alternative root certificate in ABT Site. This may be the case, for example, when your IT department requires that you work with a proprietary root certificate, generated by a dedicated CA (certificate authority) chosen by the IT department.

In case you need to roll back to the internal root certificate of ABT Site, you can regenerate the internal root certificate.
